Texas is home to some amazing free-range aoudad hunts. As most of Texas is private land, we would highly recommend you get in contact with an outfitter. This is a great opportunity for an “offseason hunt” as most hunts run from October until March. If a 30" ram is on your bucket list, give us a call and we will set you up with one of our Endorsed Outfitters.
The application deadline for the Texas public draw and the Big Time Texas Hunts raffle is October 15, 2023. The Texas Desert Sheep deadline is November 1, 2023
